Best Wide Angle Lens Adapter | 0.7x is Great for Vlogging on Panasonic G85 GH5
Been looking into wide angle lenses for our Panasonic G85 and they all seem to be iffy. They're either very expensive ($1000) and missing crucial features such as image stabilization (Panasonic 8-18mm), weather sealing (Panasonic 7-14mm), or less expensive ($400), but require manual focus. To fix this we picked up the NiSi 0.7x Wide Angle Lens Adapter for 58mm thread lenses for our Panasonic G85 12-60mm kit lens and very impressed by the quality.
WHERE TO BUY
0.7x Wide Angle Adapter
Aliexpress: https://vtudio.com/a/?ae=0.7x+wide+angle
eBay: https://vtudio.com/a/?e=0.7x+wide+angle
I bought the NiSi version in this video, however stock is hard to find. There still seems to be similar looking ones on Aliexpress and eBay now too. Just make sure you select the appropriate caliber for your lens, eg. for the G85 kit lens, I used the 58mm. Aliexpress and Paypal gives you buyer protection for your purchases so if someone sends you a dud, you can just get them to step in for a refund.

The adapter is a big chunky piece of glass which weighs around 300g, and has a very solid feel to it. The best thing about it however is that it just works, the quality is great, there's no vignette and you get to keep all the features of the kit lens - autofocus, image stabilization.

NOTES
This video was shot in 4K 30fps, however we also tested the lens in Full HD, and there's no vignette there too.
The seller on Aliexpress states that the lens is for Canon cameras, however we tested it out on a Panasonic and it works great.
Comment from Hank Lai
14-140mm ii, 15mm/f1.7 & 25mm/f1.7, the AF only works on 14mm focal of 14-140mm ii and 15mm/f1.7. It looks AF problem as focal greater than 15mm for the above lenses. But magically, AF works on my friend's 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 for all focal as your combination.
